Will they defy all odds and experience the love they so desire? "Walter peered down at Julia, whose reddened cheeks reminded him of blooming red roses. He resisted the urge to reach his hand up and caress her face in his hands, to feel her blushing cheeks warming his fingers." After Julia gets thrown out of the orphanage she grew up in, she starts roaming the streets in search for shelter and a job. Responding to a mail-order-bride ad though, gives her the opportunity to travel West and build her life anew. And while her first meeting with her soon-to-be husband is explosive, Walter's toughness is just a shield for his pain. How can she unveil his hidden layers and ease his suffering when he insists on keeping her at arm's length? The fire that killed Walter's parents scarred him body and soul. And the guilt he feels for saving only his younger brother from the flames, eats away at him every single day. Especially since his brother has abandoned both him and their ranch. Julia's kindness and strength shake Walter to the core though, giving him hope that he could rise from his ashes. How can he offer her the home she deserves when he feels broken inside? Julia will fight tooth and nail to reunite Walter with his brother.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Trevor Callahan's long estranged grandfather is dead. As a kid, living with the stern old man had been pure hell. Trev returns to Stone Creek for one reason and one reason only: To sell the Rocking C Ranch. Maybe then he can put his past behind him and move on. Beth Evans once confused lust for love and vows never to let it happen again. The bookmobile driver is trying to raise funds to build a new library. The late Hank Callahan bequeathed one million dollars for the project, but he attached one stipulation: Do not let his grandson sell the ranch. EXCERPT: He leaned across the desk. “You know, we haven’t discussed the kiss the other night.” She scooted the chair back. “There’s nothing to discuss.” He stood and slowly came around the desk, reached for her hand and pulled her to her feet. “I want to kiss you again.” “That’s probably not a good idea.” Oh, lord. She was playing with fire and if she wasn’t careful, she was going to get burned. Bad. “Probably not. I know you said we’d never kiss again. But don’t you want to kiss me? Can’t you feel the pull between us?” “Yes . . . No!” She jerked her hand free and started backing away. He followed, closing in on her until she bumped against the library table. “Just one kiss, Beth. One kiss can’t hurt.” Before she could react, before she could reply, Trevor wrapped his arms around her, covered her mouth with his and God help her, she was a goner.
